Why Join Kids Day

1. It's cheap - forgoing a coffee and donut for one day will pay the $5
2. No overhead - the kids groups get all the money
3. No rules - promote and manage the Casual Day how you want
4. Local choice - you choose who gets the cash
5. Our children - our future

It's a way to wear jeans or other casual clothing to work and support kids without writing a big check. The whole Cedar Rapids - Iowa City Corridor has designated September 1 each year (to be held Sept. 4 in 2015) as the day we Go Casual For Kids! It is an extremely easy way for companies, government entities and all other organizations to help our dedicated local groups that address the many needs of children (and have some fun at the same time!). Read on to see how simple, yet powerful, it is.

How to Participate

It's WAAAY easy!

Designate a Champion to communicate CorridorGoesCasualForKids (Kids Day) to your staff in fun ways, and to manage whatever internal promotions you choose to use

Decide the Kids Day organization you will support, how you will communicate to your staff and how you will handle funds

Tell your staff that Sept. 1Sept. 5 this year is CorridorGoesCasualForKids (Kids Day) and that they can purchase the right to wear jeans or other casual clothes to the office on September 5 by donating $5 to your selected Kids organization as part of the Corridor-wide effort

Official: Seven corridor City Mayors and the Johnson and Linn County Boards of Supervisors have signed Proclamations designating September 1 of each year as Corridor Goes Casual For Kids day!
